From picking up loose materials such as soil, leaves and bark mulch to transporting sand, cement and gravel or digging large holes in the ground - a good shovel is always an essential tool in the garden and on the construction site.
As professionals, we know: Not all shovels are the same.
Your perfect tool should be tailored exactly for its purpose. Particularly the type and length of the handle, the quality of the blade and the material properties of the shovel are very important. Only when everything fits together can the work be done efficiently.
Selecting the right tool, is not easy. For this reason, we are pleased to support you in your search for the best shovel for you and help you find your way through our extensive range of specialised and versatile tools.

Socket (blade and shaft attachment)

The angle of the blade in relation to the shaft is important, but also the attachment reinforcements and therefore the weight and load-bearing capacity. Learn more here.
